Box 396 Michael8 EonX <br />Del Norte, CO 81132 Division Director <br />RE: 374 Pit, Permit No. M-87-020 <br />Dear Ms. Benton: <br />On October 17, 1995 the Mined Land Reclamation Board conducted a formal <br />public hearing to consider Rio Grande County's request for reconsideration of a <br />Board Order in conjunction with Notice of Violation M-95-055 including the fact <br />of the violation, the required corrective action, and the civil penalty. <br />After some discussion, Rio Grande County representatives, Melvin Getz and <br />Robert Schafer, agreed that the only issue of NOV M-95-055 that needs to be <br />reconsidered is the civil penalty. As a result, Mr. Ron Cattany (Board member) <br />proposed a motion to continue the request for reconsideration of the civil <br />penalty to the February 1996 Board meeting (to be held on February 21-22, <br />1996). If Rio Grande County complies with all the corrective action requirements <br />of the Board Order the civil penalty will be reduced to S500.00 (from S43,000.00). <br />The motion was seconded and passed. <br />Since the Board did not reconsider the Violation or the Cease and Desist Order <br />of NOV M-95-055 they have not been changed or modified. <br />As you are aware the corrective action requires the submittal of a complete <br />conversion application to the Division by October 22, 1995 (since this falls on a <br />Sunday the Division will extend the date to Monday, October 23, 1995). The <br />application must be approved within 120 days of the submittal date (by <br />February 19, 1996). <br />If you have any questions give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jam <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />M:\OSSWnmlBentDn.)0 <br />
